I am so o excited to have had time to make a card today. All my large appliances have been on a death spiral this past month. The latest casualty in my kitchen is my refrigerator. That 4 hour window (more like 5 plus) when you wait for the repair man gave me time to make this card. Today's IC is fabulous...i chose the teal and orange color palette on page 8...it is number 3702.
For Lisa's great WT challenge I paper pieced the boot....i love this technique....so much fun. I used cool colors for the patterns behind the boot and warm colors for the boot, so I am squeezing in this month's CT0218 theme of warm and cool. Finally, I am so happy to have a card for the MMTPT...this is one of my favs Kamernow told a fabulous story based on her work with estate sales which made me think of a vintage theme. Best of all, I get to send this to another SCS to brighten their day. All in all, I am happy, haPPY, HAPPY!...well, except for the refrigerator. TFL, Francie

Absolutely beautiful, Francie. I'm sorry your fridge but glad that it gave you (and us the benefit of) some you time. I think I wouldn't be walking in those boots but my sister might.

Oh Francie - now that Nancy Sinatra song will be running through my head ALL day and probably half the night! lol That is one fun and funky boot - possibly something you'd see in New York City but never here in West Texas . . . .Great job with your paper piecing!!
